The Silver Capital That Built the Inland Empire

In the early 1900s, Wallace stood at the heart of the Coeur d’Alene Mining District, one of the richest silver-producing regions in the world. Its fortunes and Spokane’s were tightly bound, as ore pulled from the hills above Wallace was refined, traded, and invested through Spokane’s banks, fueling the city’s rise as the Capital of the Inland Empire. Rail lines ran between them daily, carrying miners, supplies, and the wealth that built Spokane’s sandstone skyline.

Our Heritage Collection features three icons that represent the industries that built the Inland Empire: railroads, timber, and mining. Each symbol honors the legacy of early industry in the Silver Valley and the hardworking communities that shaped Wallace, Spokane, and the greater Inland Northwest. This design captures the spirit of progress that connected mountain towns to the rails, forests, and mines that defined a generation.
